Description
Yogascent (Yoga Ascent) describes the connection between the discipline of Yoga and conscious climbing. The book aims to show how Yoga techniques can be turned to climbing at a physical and mental level, and to demonstrate that climbing, if experienced with the right attitude, can become itself a form of Yoga.
A substantial part of Yogascent describes the most important Yoga positions (Asanas) and several sequences conceived for climbers, explaining in depth their benefit in climbing. It covers important areas such as, the trunk, balance and standing, hips and lower limbs, plus shoulders, core and upper limbs.
Another chapter describes breathing techniques (Pranayama) that can be applied to climbing, then the fundamentals of meditation are analysed, as well as how climbing can become a form of meditation in movement. A further chapter follows concerning Yoga relaxation techniques and an explanation of how Yoga’s ethical and moral codes (Yama and Niyama) can find an application in the present climbing world.
